    What i said then


    No. You said it can be ignored, which it shouldn't be, as the losing party would end up paying more out.

    What are you talking about?

    If its small amounts in the real world , it goes through small claims , which in turn offers free mediation

    Free mediation? We have recently represented a (private) couple at mediation and there was certainly a cost for the Mediator. Could you give more information please?

    I think it's this: http://www.smallclaimscourtgenie.co.uk/small-claims-mediation-service/


    - I agree, from experience the mediation isn't free, but this is suggesting it is.

    they might be , but its a TV court not a court of law so anything he `decides` can be ignored in any event

    ITV settle the claim, so it's less about it being ignored and more about the people in the dock getting what they think is owed.

    How could a TV production team enforce a ruling by someone who isn't a judge, made in a studio, not a legal court?

    Still, it makes great TV :D

    ITV pay whatever costs are 'ruled'.

    I know this is the model for Judge Judy, but I don't think it's the same process for this.


    But again happy to be corrected.

    Are they actually real cases?



    I very much doubt that all of them are.


    It seems to me that a lot of them want the publicity for their business venture.


    What would it take for two friends to get together and concoct a story to get on tv and make a bit of money out of it.

    So , i was correct then , any decisions are NOT legally binding , however badly that might reflect should it reach a proper court

    And as i pointed out , mediation for small amounts (i.e small claims) is free of charge
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    That's not what you said:

    Which it's not, because courts don't like it when ADR is ignored. They mostly (unless there was a clear precedent not followed) follow the ADR decision and add all the costs to the losing party.
